REV. H. DE GELLER: You may eX-
press in your paper my earnest wish,
that German friends may feel incrcas-
ed interest and zeal in our church,
which was re-dedicatcd OH Sunday
last. This wish also extends TO others
and to all.
SAM PETERMAN: The report that ]
was rec ptured at Denison is ridicu-
lous. went over into the territory
last week and, alter considering every
thing in hollow log, where | had Il
cosy bed of leaves and grass, plenty TO
cat and a safe place to hide, ! decided
to return and serve out my time. The
officers want credit for ariesiing me,
and let them haye it.
Miss LAURA: The music and recita-
tons at the Baptist Church Sunday
afternoon were much better than cX-
pccted to hear, as my understanding
was that very little preparation had
been made. The Rotations were eX-
celent and above criticism, unless one
should contend that too many gestures
were employed. One piece of music

people knew that he had some money

derstand that about 100 women and
girls are expected, and that each one
is TO be fined every time she talks any.
They ought to take in at least $4,000

DANIEL COOPER The rate of inter

mands in the way OF security are ire

known of a mortgage on $4,000 worth
